You can’t say no to another bow in Warframe, and Cinta is another bow. But it’s not just “any” bow. Cinta was introduced in the Duviri update and is one of the most elegant weapons in the game. Getting Cinta, however, requires you to jump through quite a few hoops. We’ll help you with that figurative jumping; here’s how to get Cinta in Warframe without spending Platinum.
Make Sure You Meet the Requirements for Cinta
[Updated on August 30, 2024 – Guide revised with more accurate and thorough information]
First off, Cinta is gated by several requirements that you need to meet before you can wield it or farm for it.
- Mastery Rank 6
- Finish the Duviri Paradox quest
- A vacant weapon slot
Once those requirements are met, you can now start farming for Cintra. You can get Cintra and components by solving Enigma puzzles in the Duviri open-world.
Solve the Duviri Enigmas in Warframe to Get Cintra
This is the hard part. Enigmas are fairly lengthy puzzles. They’re complex and can come in different forms. To spot Duviri Enigmas, look for an owl-like creature sitting on some kind of pedestal with three symbols (refer to the image above for reference).
These appear all over the map and sometimes, their presence can be random, meaning map location guides won’t always be accurate with information. You have to look for them.
Once you see one, stand near it, and wait for a white circle to appear on your mini-map. This white circle indicates the puzzle area (don’t leave it).
- Search around the white circle area.
- Break containers, pick up the blue coins.
- Find some floating drums and do one of the following depending on the variation:
- Shoot them to align the symbols with the ones on the hutch (with the owl on it).
- Throw the blue coin into them.
- Throw the blue coin and shoot the metal below the drum to refund the blue coin.
- That should solve the enigma, and take note, this is the simplest out of the Duviri enigmas.
Once you’ve solved them, you have a chance to get a Cintra component:
- Cinta Blueprint
- Cinta Grip
- Cinta Lower Limb
- Cinta String
- Cinta Upper Limb
You need all five to craft the Cinta. If you have trouble finding all of the blueprints, you can actually trade with other players. Some players might be missing a blueprint that you have in excess and maybe they also have a part that you don’t. You can ask for it in the in-game Trade Chat.
Once you have all the parts, you’re not done yet. You need to craft the Cinta in the Foundry.
